The 2006 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira was the 28th edition of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, the annual Portuguese football season-opening match contested by the winners of the previous season's top league and cup competitions (or cup runner-up in case the league- and cup-winning club is the same). The match was contested between the 2005–06 Primeira Liga and 2005–06 Taça de Portugal winners, Porto, and the cup runners-up, Vitória de Setúbal.
The match took place at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria, 19 August 2006. In Portugal, the final was televised live on RTP1. Watched by a crowd of 8,890, Porto defeated the Sadinos, 3–0. Goals from Brazilian striker Adriano, midfielder Anderson and 70-minute substitute Vieirinha clinched Porto their 15th Supertaça.
